I Am Hurting Today....

I have to be honest.....listening to 5 lives build up to the Cup Final is painful.....

Open a bottle of wine and stick on a dvd of one of our cup final wins - you will feel better for it my friend!

It is very painful not only was this a great opportunity, but also the league is looking very bleak as well.

[VillaAlways]

Absolute joke that we are not there today. Yet the person responsibile is still in charge and is going to take us down  Pathetic!

I feel really angry today

Saw a bit of the build up earlier and it just reminded me of what a big chance we missed out on and I still find it hard to believe that we were beaten by a League 2 team over two legs.

It's crap we aren't there today but hardly the end of the world. I hope the Bradford and Swansea fans have the time of their lives. For us it would have 'just' been another cup final, for them it's the biggest day of their supporting lives, and may well be the biggest they'll ever have. We'll have more finals.

Who knows how long it will be before we get such a chance to win a wembley cup final again - 17 years so far since the last trophy and could be a lot longer yet.

[Greg N'Ash]

Probably in the minority here but given the situation we're in currently i'm not too bothered. Teams that get to the final often find their league form disappear - would we have beaten west ham or drawn with everton with players trying not to get injured for the final? Not to mention injuries on the notorious tiring wembley pitch. Just have to look at TSM's win with small heath to see it can affect your league form. If we stay up, then i'll be happy with the trade off.

And since then 2 finals and a few semi finals. Most people think we are complete wank this season and we still reached a SF. How many have Swansea and Bradford reached in the last 50 years? Or 100?

In the last 12 years we have competed in a grand total of 2 cup finals, winning neither. Today isn't 'just' another cup final, it's a golden opportunity that we pissed away.

Winning trophies is what we all want , sods law that we would have got and probably beaten swansea this year having played chelsea and man u in our last two finals.

Agreed , it was a final we would have had a real chance of winning .

[Tom_Mc9?]

Good luck to Bradford - it happened, we lost, move on.

We've got more excitement with a relegation battle to look forward to. Bradford will be jealous.

[myf]

we weren't good enough to beat a league 4 side over 180 mins. we don't deserve to be at wembley

It's what I want too. We've blown plenty of other chances over the years, but we'll also keep having more chances, Bradford and Swansea quite possibly won't. So for their fans i'm delighted.
